So excited it's finally October!! The past month has been super busy, getting the kiddos in the new routine of school and starting up Cub Scouts and Sunday School. The brewery (my husband's new business) is in full swing at our house for the time being while construction will soon begin at the actual site. Lots of test batches being created and tweaking final recipes for our initial offerings. If you haven't yet, check out our Facebook page & website. Exciting stuff on the horizon!!

As for me - well I'm a big ragged these days just running in a million directions trying to get everyone where they need to be & get things done. I haven't been scrapping as much as I'd like, but did have a chance to play with the new Fancy Pants Designs lines this weekend. They are AWESOME - great color schemes & the embellishments - just adorable!! The first layout I created features the Happy-Go-Lucky line:

I decided to cut some fun leaves from my Silhouette & create a border along the top of the page. Amidst the leaves I popped in an adorable flair from the collection.

Instead of using one of the patterned photo frames for a photo, I decided to place my journaling inside it. A sticker and a few gorgeous buttons added a fun touch to the frame :)

My second page features more of the Happy-Go-Lucky line :) In this page I showcased the struggles of getting a pic of my two guys. Ryan is the perfect poser but Nicholas loves to say cheese and give the squinty half-smile :) Such a ham!!

The new wooden phrases are AWESOME!!! I added a chipboard button over top of the "o" and layered it all on top of one of the large tags.

The ephemera pack from this line if full of fun elements. I loved these adorable leaves and fun photo corner!!!
